Narrative

WE WERE CLRED TO LAND RWY 9R AT LAKELAND AT APPROX AM30 TO AM45 LCL TIME APR/TUE/92. TEMPORARY RWY 9L (TAXIWAY) WAS IN USE (SUN AND FUN). AFTER LNDG; TWR CLRED US UP þRWY 5 EXPEDITE; NO DELAY TO THE END.þ UPON REACHING RWY 5 A MAN IN AN ORANGE UNIFORM WITH 2 BATONS GOT IN FRONT OF US AND GAVE US THE UNIVERSAL SIGNAL TO STOP þNOW.þ HAVING BEEN TAUGHT SINCE DAY 1 OF MY FLYING TRAINING; THAT THE TWR GND CTL IS IN CHARGE OF THE OPS OF THE ARPT; WE OPTED TO ADHERE TO THE VERBAL CLRNC GIVEN OVER THE RADIO TO US; NOT THE MAN ON THE GND. THE MAN HAD TO þDUCKþ UNDER THE WING TO KEEP FROM BEING STRUCK BY THE WING. BEFORE THE FLT; BOTH PLTS REVIEWED THE ADVISORY CONCERNING OPS AT THE AIR SHOW. IT MENTIONED PEOPLE IN ORANGE SHIRTS SIGNALING ACFT; BUT IN NO WAY MENTIONED THEY WERE IN TOTAL CTL OF THE GND OPS. UPON TALKING WITH THE MAN WE ALMOST HIT; HE SAID; AND I QUOTE: þYES; SHE (GND CTL) DID CLR YOU UP þ5þ TO EXPEDITE TO THE END; AND SHE SHOULD NOT HAVE.þ IT NEEDS TO BE MADE CLRER THAT; AT THOSE SPECIAL FUNCTIONS; I.E. þAIR SHOWSþ THAT ACTUAL TWR PERSONNEL ARE ON THE GND AND þIN CHARGE;þ I.E.; TOTAL CTL PER THE FAA.
